Asked how he was able to recall almost all the "Bohemian Rhapsody" lyrics, Wilkinson sought to display his memory by rattling off a long string of digits in Pi.

Wilkinson's YouTube page includes a video chronicling his 2004 dismissal from the Vancouver Film School, as well as clips showing him twice getting punched in the face by a friend.
